Teaching Tens and Ones
What it is
Tens and ones is the first step of place value: a two-digit number is some tens and some ones, so 36 is three tens and six ones.
When a child is ready
Begin when the child counts to 100 and can count by tens.
If they struggle
Group real objects into tens with rubber bands or cups. Ask 'how many tens? how many left over?' and write the digits in that order.
